      Crawford ' s demand that out-door relief should be extended in Ireland not only to the aged aHd infirm , but also u > the able-lrodied , by a compulsory rate , he obserred that he could not fur one moment entertain a proposition which he believed would introduce a mist perilous and noxious system into that country . That system was dangerous in principle , and had been found pregnaut with mischief when carried into practice in England . After a short conversation , in which Mr . Shaw , Col . Conolly , Mr . F . French , and Mr . M . O'Ferrall took part , Mr . S . Crawford brie 9 y replied , and withdrew Ms motion . Crawford ' s demand that outdoor reliefsliould be ex-

      Lord G . Bestock , in moving for " a return giving the number and the names of the importers of foreign grain now in bond in the Queen ' s warehouses m Great Britain and Ireland , together with the quantities held by each individual , " observed , that his object was to show the number of persons who would be benefited by the measure then before Parhament for the immediate reduction of the corn duties , lhe operation of that measure would immediately reduce the duty on wheat from 16 s . in & a quarter ; and the

      the difference would be gained , not by consumers , but bv the corn-dealers . He calculated that the practical result of the measure would give half a million to some 300 or 400 merchants—a sum which , if it were not to go into the Exchequer , would be better expended in giving relief to the distressed people of Ireland . Mr . B . Escoii suggested to Lord G . TJentinck the expediency of asking for a further return to that for which he had movea—namely , for a return of all the individuals who were to eat the corn in bond .

      The Chascbilor of the Exchequer declared his readiness to accede to the motion . He entered into a Statement to prove thai there was no ground for the noble lord ' s apprehension , that the holders of bonded corn would receive such enormous advantages from the proposed alteration in the corn duties . Mr . Newdegate would rather see the revenue given to the people of Ireland than sacrificed in the way pointed out by his noble friend . He suggested to Mr . Eseottthathe should himself undertake the vain task which he had recommended to his noble friend—namely , that of procuring a return of the persons who would eat the corn now in bond . After a few words from Mr . Wobehodse and Mr . S . O'Brien .

      Lerd G . Bkxtock insisted on the correctness of Ilia former argument . The suggestion offered to him by Mr . Escott was as incomprehensible as the conduct of that gentleman in retaining his seat and votjnz for tha oWition of the Corn Laws , knowing , as he did , that he had been r eturned fiw Winokcotor in opposition to two honest supporters of that measure . He ( Lord G . Bentinck ) should conceive himself mad to follow such a leader , or to be guided in anything either by his advice or his example . Mr . Escoii defended himself from the sarcasms of the noble lord , who , from the language which he had just used , was evidently quite ignorant of the circumstances under which he had been elected . The return was then ordered , and the house adjourned .

      HOUSE OF LORDS—Thtjhsdat , Feb . 12 . STATE OF IRELAND . The Marquis of Clasbicabve mored , pursuant to notice , for returns with respect to the commission of crimes in Ireland . He was shocked to tee the increase of crimes of the deepest dye in that country , and he could not but think that great blame was doe to the government . It was not only the combination against life , but against property , in Ireland , that ought to b » put down by the government . The greater part of Ireland , he asserted unhesitatingly , was in a state ef insurrection , and no step had been taken bj the government to pat it down . He coniidtred that it was high tune that something should be done with respect to the criminal law in Ireland .

      Earl St . Gebuuss said , it was the intention of the government , at an early period , to lay oa the table of the house a bill which he trusted would have the effect of remedying the evils complained of bj the noble marquis . He would observe , in refarence to the charge of supineness brought against the government , that it wat no Hght matter to set aside the other laws of the land , or to abridge the liberty of the subject . It was a matter of deep consideration whether the cxistiag state of the country justified a measure of this extraordinary nature . Her Majesty ' s government had , after mature deliberation , come to the opinion that the state of the country did justify the adoption of such a measure , in ordtr to repress th « actions of those who were opposed to all law and order . After some observations from Earl Fatnham and Earl Clare ,

      Earl Gbet said he was glad to hear that it was the intention of the gorernment to introduce a measure upon the subject that had been introduced by his noble friend . There was something radically wrong in the state of Ire-Uad , which required Legislative enactments to remedy , butthese legislative enactments must notba wholly of a cotrcive character . The returns were then agreed to , and the house adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS—Thobsdat , Feu . 12 .

      THE CORN LAWS . —ADJOURNED DEBATE . The debate was resumed by Mr . CotQcaora , who assured the right hon . baronet at the head of the government , that he was mistaken in stating that he ( Mr . Colquhoun ) had at one time held opinions in favour of the doctrine of total and immediate repeal of the Corn Laws , and that now he held doctrines of protection . He had not t « en in favour of total and immediate repeal , but he had been in favour of a fixed duty , and hi 1838 to 1839 he had voted for the motion of Mr . Villiers for a committee .

      { From our Fourth Edition of last week . ] HOUSE OF LORDS—Thorsdat , Feb . 5 . The Earl of Dalhousie brought up the report of the Committee on Railway Bills ; which was to the effect that the standing order , requiring that one-tenth of the amount of capital subscribed be deposited , should be suspended with respect to such railway bills as shall commence in the House of Lords this session . That no such bills should be read a first time until one-twentieth of the amount subscribed should be deposited ; and a further one-twentieth before the bill should lie read a third time ; and that no bill should be received after Monday , February 23 rd . The noble earl gave notice that he should draw the attention of the house to the subject to-morrow .

      The Earl of Claxcakit then rose to move for the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the management of the medical charities in Ireland . Ia a speech of some , length , reviewed the existing state of the Jaw 3 applicable to the relief of the sick poor and the destitute in Ireland , and moved for a committee to inquire into their operation . The Duke of Weiaikgios assented ; and the motion was agreed to . The committee was then appointed , and their lordships adjourned . HOUSE OF COMMONS—Thchsdat , Feb . 5 . A new writ was orderedfortheborough of Bucking ham , in the room of Sir T . Fremantle , who had accepted the Chiltern Hundreds . Mr . Christie presented a petition in favour of the Ten Hours'BilL

      PENAL ENACTMENTS . Mr . Watson then moved for leave to bring in a bill for the further repeal of enactments imposing pains and penalties on her Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects on account of their religion . Sir Jambs Graham said that a bill similar to that proposed bv the hon . and learned member had been laid on the table of the House of Lords by the Lord Chancellor . It was , therefore , a subject fur the con sideration of the hon . and learned member whether , tinder such circumstances , he would persevere in bis motion .

      Sir Robert Ixgus remarked , that the speech of Sir James Graham , had proved too clearly that every fear which he had entertained was now realized by the policy adopted by her Majesty ' s present gr-Ternment . fie therefore urged on Mr . Watson , and on other gentlemen who bad similar schemes of reformatian to bring forward , the propriety of considering whether their object would not be more effectually answered by leaving their projects in the hands of the present government . Mr . "Watson ' s bill , he said , wonld eventually repeal the Act of Supremacy—which would enibla Roman Catholic bishops to assume the titles now belonging to the prelates of the established church in England and in Ireland—which

      would legalise religious precessions , while political ptoc « ssions .. were prohibited—which would authorise the existence of the monastic orders in Great Britain and Ireland , and which would repeal that clause in the Relief Bill which provided for the expulsion of all Jesuits from the united kingdom . He concluded by repeating his opinion that those gentlemen who sad schemes for a blessed reformation in church and Etate might rely with more confidence on Sir J . Graham and Sir R . Peel as allies , than they could upon Lord J . Russell or any other gentleman on the Opposition benches . Sir James Graham denied that the government had adopted Mr . Watson ' s bill , or that the Lord Chancellor ' s measure contemplated the repeal of the Act of Supremacy .

      Lord Jons MmERa dedaredMs intention ofsupporting the present bill . Mr . OTossell supported the bill . They had no there was no law against expressing opinions of the most anti-Christian character ; but there was a law to punish virtue ; they had a law to punish devotion to God , and the exercise of the highest qualities of human nature . He thanked the right hon . baronet ( Sir J . Graham ) for the course he had taken on the subject . Lord Jons Russell thought it was worthy of consideration whether or not the penalties might be repealed , by which the establishment of monastic orders is restricted , substituting registration and visitation for prohibition . Leave was given to Mr . Watson to introduce the bill .

      The Lord Advocate also obtained leave to introduce a bill to provide for the abolition of the exclusive privileges of carrying on merchandise , and of exercising trades in burghs of Scotland . Mr . Stafford O ' Bribs moved the issue of the two writs for Dorsetshire , in the room of Lord Ashley and Mr . Sturt , which were ordered . The Loud Advocate also obtained leave to in-

      BONE-CRUSHING . Mr . Christie withdrew his motion for " copies ol any papers or reports by Mr . Chadwick , secretary to the Poor Law Commissioners , by Mr . Parker , late assistant commissioner , or by any other assistantcommissioner , on the subject of bone-crushing in union workhouses , " on the suggestion of Sir J . Graham , that though there was a memorandum by Mr . Chadwick on the subject , it was not signed with his name , but was a confidential communication from him , as a subordinate officer of the government , to ma superiors , and that it would be contrary to usage and tuo interests of the public service to publish such confidential communications . lhe house then adjourned .

      HOl'SE OF LORDS-Fiudat , Feu . 6 . The Earl of Daihoossie moved the adoption of the new resolutions respecting railways , and urged the great benefit which the public would derive from the adjustment of the amount of business between the two houses , as well as the great necessity of an early provision for employing the people of Ireland . Lord Mosteaole explaiued more fully the nature of the proposed alterations as affecting Irish railway bills ; and commented very severely on the plan pursued with respect to railway deposits for the present session . In his opinion it was impossible to conceive anything more mischievous to the mercantile classes than the existing system , The motion was agreed to , and the house then adjourned ,

      HOUSE OF COMMONS-Fbdoat , Feb . 6 . Public business was commenced by lord G . Sohekset ' s calling attention to the First Report of the Railway Bills Committee , of which he briefly stated the substance . He said that great convenience would arise from permitting the House of Lords to originate railway hills , and that it would facilitate publie business very considerably if the Irish railway bills were referred at once to that house for examination . He then moved the first resolution of the committee , which provides that during the present session the House of Commons shall not insist upon its privilege that no bill imposing tails and penalties shall originate elsewhere than in the House of Commons . After gome discussion the resolution passed .

      ran MINISTERIAL MEASURES . Mr . Pamir Miles ( Bristol ) gave notice of the precise shape which the opposition to the commercial propositions of the government will assume . It is that of a direct negative . When the question is put that the Speaker do leave the chair , in order that the home may go into committee on the government plans , an amendment will be made , that the house shall resolve itself into committee " that day six months . " Ms . O'CossEtl , having been informed by Sir James Graham that important official information from Ireland was about to be produced , postponed till Wednesday next his motion on the state of famine and distress in that country .

      Gentlemen , —Ithas bsen my painful duty to resign the representation of the county . of Dorset . My address , a copy , of which I have transmitted to you , will explain the seasons that have led me to this result . I deeply regret my retirement from the occupations and pursuits ol public life ; but on no account do I so much regret it as that I am thereby compelled to relinquish the care of that measure , to which you are so ardently and so justly attached , for the limitation of the hours of labour . But you must not despair : there will be feund other men to undertake this righteous cause ; and , meanwhile , jour teae and excellent friend , Mr . Fieldeu , has resolved to move the bill to a second reading . I exhort you to persevere in the demand you have made ; and , whatever interval you may accept by way of preliminary experiment , to abate nothing at last of ihelimitation to ten hours ; it is both just and necessary ; andyoaatk ne more than that which every one opealy or secretly assents to .

      In promising jyou my continued and imdinrinisbed efforts , I may now , Ifear , bepiommng butlittle of value ; it is , however , all thatlhavepowerto offer , and , by God ' s bltissing , you shall have the best that I can give . I rejoice , sincerely and thankfully rejoice , that my resignation , the last act of my public life , the last at least so far as I can see , has been to advance a measure which , if there he justice or humanity remaining , must render the concession of the Ten Hours' Bill not only certain but immediate . Believe me , gentlemen , Tow very sincere friend and servant , London , Feb . 2 , 1816 . AsntEr . An address to Lord Ashley , in reply to the above letter , was then submitted to the committee and unanimously adopted .

      THE MINISTERIAL MEASURES-MEETING OF THE WHIG AND LEAGUERS . A very numerously attended meeting of Liberal Members was held on Saturday at Lord John Russell ' s house , in Cheshara-pkwe , to consider the course to be taken in the approaching discussion on Sir Robert Peel ' s proposals . We understand that Lord John Russell addressed the meeting , pointing out the danger to the measure that might arise from an amendment in committee for immediate repeal of the Corn Laws , which might be supported by the Protectionists fop the purpose of throwing a difficulty in Sir Robert ' s Peel ' s way , and , being carried by a majority combined of free traders and Protectionists , might cause Sir R . Peel to throw up the measure . We are told that the most perfect unanimity prevailed as to the necessity of the Liberalpnrty doing everything in their power to pass that part of Sir R . Peel ' s measure , which concerns corn as quickly

      as possible , and in thinking that , though immediate free trade in corn A \ ould be preferable to its fulfilment in February , 1849 , still it would not be right , under present circumstances , to risk the slightestdelay in passing Sir Robert Peel ' s measure by an amendment for immediate repeal . The members began to assemble at 12 , and the meeting broke up shortly before 1 . Among those who attended were Lnnl Palmerston , Sir George Grey , Mr . Labouehere , Mr . Macaulay Mr . F . T . Baring , Mr . O'Connell , Sir William Molesworth , Mr . Bernal , Lord Marcus Hill . Mr . Milner Gibson , Mr . Strutt , Mr . Thornely , Sir George Strickland , Mr . Pattison , Mr . J .

      L-J J > w « 1 »^ Ks JL J . X . XV f > LATEST NEWS FROM IRELAND . FOOD-PANIC AND THREATENED DISTURBANCES . Dublin , Feb . 5 . —It appears by accounts from Gahvay , that the authorities are apprehensive of some disturbances in consequence ot the people having evinced a determination to resist the exportation of grain . A local paper of yesterday says : — "A troop of the 13 th Light Dragoons from Gort arrived here yesterday , under the command of Captain Hamilton , forthepurpofe , it is said , of repressing any outbreak among tho people which may arise , owing to the exportation of corn from this port . Two companies of the , 30 th are likewise expectedone from Loughrca , the other from Outrcard—to aid the force in garrison , if necessary . This increase of troops is said to have been caused by the posting of a threatening notice at the Gas-house last week . , LATEST NEWS FROM IRELAND .

      to the effect that the merchants' stores would bo broken up by the people if any further exportation of corn was attempted . " Meanwhile the price ? of all descriptions of agricultuval stock , particularly in the article of pork—the poor man ' s main resource to meet the rent-day—are rapidly tumbling within the last few days . In iact , a panic on a small scale has actually set in . in x gs ' " sa > sa Wexford paper , "that averaged 43 s . to 44 s . per cwt . a fortnight back , could not bring 35 s . at the fair of Taghmon , on Wednesday ; and a complete panic seemed to have seized on buyer and seller—tlie latter , except in one trifling instance , returning with his stock rather thau submit to the reduced prices tendered . : A proportionate reduction has taken place in the value of all kinds of grain , both in the southern and northern markets :

      THE ALLEGED HORRIBLE MURDERS ON BOARD THE TORY . TRIAL OF CAPT . JOHNSTONE .. Friday . —The judges took their seats shortly after ten o ' clock , and tlie prisoner was immediately placed at the ba ' r .: . ' Mr . Jems then rose to address the jury . The learned counsel said the main point upon which lie rested the defence of the prisoner was that his mind had become in such a Btate , that when he killed the deceased he was notcriininauy responsible , " and that it would be the duty of the jury to acquit him upon that ground . He wished them to understand that hedid not mean to contend that the prisoner was in point of fact a madman , without any lucid intervals , but that what had occurred on board tho vessel had the effect of rendering him subject to naroxvsms oi

      madness , and that in one of those paroxysms he destroyed the deceased . TJie evidence for the prosecution clearly proved the prisoner ' s conduct to have been most outrageous and extraordinary . He appeared to have attacked theicrew without any provocation , cutting them most cruelly , and acting altogether in a manner totally unaccountable . He was the captain of a vessel containing a valuable cargo , said to be worth eighty thousand pounds , with an unknown crew , whom lie had very good reason to believe were in a mutinous state . He knew that there was a scarcity of provisions and water , and he might very naturally suppose that this would increase the discontent of his crew ; and , while things were in this state , he was led to believe that the crew

      intended to destroy his life and seize vessel and cargo . What was the immediate effect of this ? Why , from being a kind , and mild , well-conducted man , he was at once changed to a state of wildness , and intemperance , and apparently to be regardless of . his actions . lie became furious and raving . The three men whom he supposed to be concerned in the mutiny , he put in irons ; and while in that condition , according to the testimony of one of the witnesses , he cut . at them fifty times ; and afterwards , with a drawn cutlass in his hand , he pursued the chief mate Rambert , wounded him , and eventual drove him into the sea ; and his whole conduct at that time , ho should submit , was such as to show that he was . then clearly not accountable for his actions . It might be said that after this , which incurred in the month of September , the prisoner conducted himself perfectly " quiet and calmly far a month , and until the vessel had sailed froniFayal ; but he should contend that the blow upon the -mind

      ot the prisoner hud been struck , his reason . was affected , and the moment the chord was again Btruck , a paroxysm of madness was the consequence . It ' the prisoner really desired to gratify any vindictive feeling , would he have sent lor the man into his cabin , and destroyed him in the presence of a number of the crew ? He first sent for him at seven o ' clock , and then , without any provocation , he attacked him and cut him in a most brutal wanner . At twelve o ' clock the same night he again sent for him , and immediately , and without a word being said , again attacked him , and while several persons were standing by , stabbed him to death . Were not these the nets ol a madman—ot a person bereft of reason and judgment ? He did not mean to deny that afterwards his mind recovered , and that at the present lime he might be perfectly sane , but the exciting cause had paBsed away , and this -was the manner in which that would be accounted for .

      Mr . Justice Williams having summed up the evideuce , the jury retired at one o ' clock , and ai twentyfive minutes alter two they returned into court . Mr . Straight , the deputy clerk of arraigns , then inquired whether they had agreed upon their verdict ? The foreman replied : We find the prisoner guilty , but that he was not at the time in a sound state of mind . Mr . Justice Williams : Am I to understand that you think he was not in a sane state of mind when he committed the act ? II ' so , that would be a verdict of not guilty , on the ground of insanity . Is that what you mean to say , gentlemen ? The jury returned no answer , and did not appear to understand what was said by the learned jud » e . Mr . Justice Williams said if they had not agreed upon what verdict they should declare , they had better retire .

      lhc jury wished to know what would be the effect of finding such a verdict as that mentioned by the Court . Mr . Justice Williams said the jury had nothing to do with the consequences of any verdict they might deliver . The jury then again deliberated for a short time , when , Mr . Justice Williams said they had better retiro and discuss the matter . Accordingly , the jury again left the court . They were absent about half an hour , when they again returned , and gave a verdict of Not Guilty , on the ground that the prisoner was in a state of insanity at the time he committed the offence .

      f he prisoner was then removed , the usual order being given that he should be kept in safe custody until her Majesty ' s pleasure should be made known respecting him .

      LA . MBETH . Tuesday . —The Charge of Attempted Murder . Frederick Munton a master tailor , who has been twice before examined on a charge or cutting his wifc ' a throat , was again pl » ced at the bar . Inspector Collier deposed that he had seen Mrs . Munton at her own request that morning , aud sh » 8 pp > ar « dto ' h ' im not only in an unfit state to appear and give eridsnee , but that it was very doubtful whether she ever should . Her voice was bo feeble that she could only ipeak in a whiiiper but she distinctly said in hi > presence that she had committed tho act herself . She also seemed desirous to say something mors , but appeared so . weak at to bemuble to do so . Mr . Otway , surgton , and Mr . Mason , another medical gentleman , laid that Mrs . Munton was going on

      favourably . Mr . Mason laid it wsu hit impression , that Mrs . Munton had inflicted the wound herself . Harriet Casper uidthM on Tueiday week ihe . went to attend to Mrs . Uunton , and alter being with her a short tim « , Mrs . Muutou told her tbat she had committed the act herself . She said that on the Sunday morning , about » quarter past eight o ' clock , she got out , and was proceediug to the kitchen te light the fire , and prepare breakfast , when t he met a dark figure , who told her to cut her throat . She paiaed into the kitehon , and seeing her husbatid ' ii razor on themautle-slulf , the opened it , aiid commenced cutting her throat there . Thii witness , upon being questioned by Mr . Heury , admitted that Mm . Munton might

      hare been been w «» derlng i » her mind at th » time she made this statement . Mr . Collier observed , that it was very improbable , indeed , that Mrs . Munton had committed any wound upon htrself in the kitchen , as there w « r « no marks of blood th « r « . Mr . Htnry ultimately remanded tlie pritoner for a week , observing that the death of the mother-in-law of the prisoner ( see our report of Accidents , inqussH , ic . ) , who was the most important witne 8 » , would make a considerable difference in the caie . He contented to acc » pt bail , two sureties in £ 200 nun , and the prisoner himself in double that sum , with twenty-four hours ' notice of theiolvency of the parties offering thtmielree a « sureties .

The grounds of their refusing to work at the cocoa-nut picking and at tho pump in the jvorlc . house were , that some of them wanted to proceed tonvrdi their homes in the country when th $ y got up in tie morning , aud that the accommodation and foed they got were of the very worst and scantiest description . Ifr . Cottingham said tliat the defendants having agreed to the terms on which they were admitted , they ought to dation . and ' fbOA afforded them . When they ^ oTuTmTT"

      have performed the work . He added that they had all rendered themselves liable to a month's imprisonment ; but as the majority of them were strangers at that work , house , he should only select three out of the number , and commit them for ten days each to the House of Correction , as they were perfectly cognizant of the rules of the work , house . Upon hearing the decision , most of the other de . fendantg who were included in the list of the discharged , expressed their , disappointment , and said they wished to be sent to gaol , for theyjcould hot return to their native places , having to walk back , some from eore feet , and others from bodily illness ; and that they preferred tha gaol to the workhouse . The magistrate , however , would not accede to . the wishes of the unfortunate men , who were then set at liberty , and they were again thrown upon their own resources , to wander about the streets in a rag , ged and starving condition .

      THAMES , Monday , —the Captain and hib Ladies . —Two young women , named Kate "Wiltons aud Eliza Kanet , were charged , the first with stealing , and the latter with receiving £ 119 , the property of Captain Davis , the master of the Oralio , Though the prosecutor did not appear , Inspector Donegan suggested that it might be desirable to hear the case as far as it could be carried . It appeared the captain met the woman Wilkins , and went with her to a house in George-street ,. Tower-hill , where he went to sleep .: About twelve o ' clock at night , when he awoke , he missed a cheque for £ 113 and five pounds in gold aud silver ,

      A constable , accompanied by , the captain and the servant of the house where the money was missed , went in pur . suit oi "WilkinB ; and on Saturday traced her to Wo . 3 , Plumbers-street , ' Commercial-road , where she and the other prisonerhad taken lodgings . On searching the room , although their bed consisted of only a little straw , nine pounds were found in their apartment . Whilst taking them to the station-house the captain gave them the slip , nor had the constable seen him since * though he had promised to bs in attendance to prosecute . The constable had been several times to the ship , but no one on board knew of his whereabout . The prisoners were remanded , that further evidence might be procured .

      Tuesday . —Wobkhobse Rsbbllion . —Thomas Wilson , Charles Wood , and Win . Arnold , were charged with refusing to perform the " two-pound task , " in return for a night ' s lodging and a breakfast , at the Mile-end workhouse . —Mr . Simons , the master of the workhouse , said the prisoners were casual paupers , and presented themselves as such on Monday night . They were provided with a night ' s lodging and the usual breakfast in the morning . They were required to pick two pounds of oakum , which they refused to do . They cursed the guardians , and as a climax cursed the Poor La . w Cbnmris . sionerj themselves . Mr . Simons added , that since tbe frosty weather set m the number of casual paupers had greatly increased , and on Monday night as many as 160 of them claimed admission . —Mr . Eroderip sentenced the prisoners to fourteen days' imprisonment and hard labour .

      WANDSWORTH . Monday . —Attehfted Sdicide . — Amelia M'Dougal Pringle , a young woman about twenty-eight years of age , was brought up again for examination upon a charge of attempting self-destruction , by throwing herself into the Seven Islands Pond , Wandswovth-comraoB . On tho morning of the 15 th of January the defendant was found floating in the above-mentioned pond , and taken out by some labourers on the South Western Railway , and con . veyed in an apparently dead state to the Wandsworth Union , where , howeTer , the judicious treatment of the master and matron restornd her to life . On the 27 th ult . she was brought before Mr . Clive , and her ansrver to the charge was , that she had boen three years in tbe service of Mr . Rankin , on the Common ; that about four

      months since sue left to marry a plasterer , who deceived her in his circumstances , and having expended what money she had , and pawned her clothes , she determintd upon destroying hersolf . She also accused her husband of having tried to persuade her to cut her throat by uiviag her an open razor , and bidding her to kneel down and do it . She was remanded , that the lady of the furnished room she and her husband had occupied , might attend and speak to the husband ' conduct . On Monday wek Elizabeth Singer , of 51 , Praed-street , Paddington , proud that the defendant had lodged at her house for three months , during which time she had thrice attempted to destroy herself ; once with poison , the next time with a rope , and the last time with a razor ; she did not con . aider that the husband was to blame , he gave her nearly all his wagei when in work . She coniidered 'defendant of a very desponding nature . Other witnesses were called and proved that prior to the defendant ' s marriageshe

      , had been ofa happy and cheerful disposition . The husband said he would do his best to support her , and Mr . Rankin authorised police constablo Daley , 127 V , to state that he would take htr back into hii lervice if the hus , band was not permitted to come near her . The defen . dant was again remanded for the attendance of ths medical officer of the union to speak to her state of mind . —Dr . Connor stated that the defendant w » s , although labouring under no delusion , decidedly depressed in mind , and ho considered naturally inclined to melan . choly . —Police constable Daley said that Mr . Rankin wai still desirous to receive the defendant back into his ser . vice ; and shu having expressed her vvish to return , Mr , Clive , after addressing the defendant in the most feeling manner , and pointing out to her the enormity of hw offence , said he would return her into the hands of a good master , and trusted that she would regain her cheer , fulneei . —The defendant was then discharged .

      TUESDAY . — AHOTHfB WoBKHOnsI RlVOlT . ¦— Eight vrretchod . lookinj individuals , charged with refusing to work , were brought from the Wandsworth Union , Lowo , the porter , having proved that the prisoners had had their supper , bad , and breakfast , and then refused to work . When the prisonan were called upon for their defence , one of them complained that there was no glass , or scarcely any , in the window frames / and that they wwe almost perished with cold . Mr . Clive asked if thii statement was true . The porter admitted that the windows iu both wards were broken , but they were to be mended . In the meantime there was a bit of rug nailtd up to keep the cold out , Mr . ClWe . obitrved that as breaking the windows of the casual wardi had become a matter of such

      constant recurrence , he should hate theught that ere now a grating would have been fixed to preserve them . He was desirous of knowing how these wards were warmed . The porter replied that there were two fire , places , but no fires . The inmate * were , however , mp . plied with three rug » each . Mr . Clive said , under ordU nary circumstances , he should have had no hesitation in convicting the prisoners aud sentencing each of them to a month ' s imprisonment , but when he found that such gross neglect existed , that windows were allowed ( as he had been given to understand ) to remain unmendea for nearly a fortnight , and that tho comforts of these people were ia other respects neglected , he should inflict no pun . iflhment , but discharge the priionere . These poor creatures had a right to be made comfortable , and he must say that the fact of their not being io , showed that the parties having the management of the house were to blatno .

      DREADFUL SHIPWRECK-LOSS OF THE CATARAQUE EMIGRANT SHIP-FOUR HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN LIVES LOST . The following particulars of the loss of the above vessel are taken from the Port Philip and Ilobart Town papors , received at Lloyd ' s : — : " It is our melancholy duty to lay before the public the particulars of the most awful shipwreck which lias ever occurred in these colonies—the total wreck of the emigrant ship Cataraque upon the ironbound coast of King ' s Island . DREADFUL SHIPWRECK-LOSS OF ME

      The following particulars are from Mr . Guthne , the chief male , Vho , with hia eight fellow-survivors , reached the shore almost in a state of nudity , having lost everything they possessed . 14 The Cataraque , Captain C . W " . Finlay , sailed from Liverpool on the 20 th April , with 860 emigrants , and a crew , including two doctors , M . fj . Carpenter , and Edward . Carpenter ( brothers ) , of forty-six souls . The emigrants were principally from Bedfordshire , Staffordshire , Yorkshire , and Northamptonshire . About 120 of the passengers were married , with families , and in all seventy-three children . " On the 3 rd of August , at seven in the evening , the ship was hove to aud continued lying to until three , a . m ., of 4 th . A t half-past four , it being quite dark and

      raining hard , blowing a fearful gale , arid the sea running mountains liigh , the Bhip struck on a reef , situate on tho west coast of King ' s Island , entrance of Bass's Straits . No opportunity had offered for taking an observation to enable the captain to ascertain the ship's course for four days prior to the ship striking , and from the dead reckoning kept it was presumed thattheYesaelvfaainHl degs . 22 min . Ea 9 t longitude , and 32 deg , 17 min . South , which would make her about CG or 70 miles from King ' s Island . Immediately tlii ) ship ship struck she was sounded , and four feet water was in the hold . The scene of confusion and misery that ensued at this awful period it is impossible to describe . ' All the passengers attempted to rush upon deck , and many succeeded in

      doing so , until the ladders were knocked down by the workings of the TeBsel , when the shrieks from men , women , and children from below were : terrific , calling on the watch on deck to assist them . Tne crew te a man were on deck the moment the ship struck , and were instantly employed in handing up the passengers . Up to the time the vessel began breaking up , it is supposed that between 300 and 400 were got on deck by tlie extraordinary exertions ot the crew . At this time tlie sea was breaking over the ship on the larboard sid » sweeping the decks , every sea taking away more or less of the passengers . About tivc a . m . the snip careened right over on her larboard side , washing away boats , bulwarks , spars , and a part of the cuddy , aud literally swept the decks .

      At this critical period , the captain gave orders to cut away the masts , hoping the vessel would right to enable the crew to get on deck the passengers left below . Everything that could , ' under the circumstances , was done to get the vessel upright , but all to no purpose . The passengers below were now all drowned , the ship being full of water , and the captain gave thosa on deck directions to cling to that part of the wreck then above water until daylight , hoping tuat the spar would be of some service in making a breakwater under her , and thus enable the survivors to get onshore in the morning . When day broke we found the stern of the vessel washed in , and numerous dead bodies floating around the ship , some hanging upen the racks . Several oi

      the passengers ' and crew ( about 200 altogether ) were still holding on to the vessel . The sea was breaking over , and every wave washing some of them away . About four in ths afternoon the vessel parted amidships , at the fore part of the main rigging , when immediately some 70 or 100 were launched into the tumultuous and remorseless waves . The survivors ran ridge Iine 3 along the side of the wreck to enable them to hold on . The remains of the upper deck now began to break up , and wash away . A buoy was now made , and floated towavds tlie shore ; but it could not be got nearer

      than twenty yards , owing to its getting entangled with the sea-weeds on the rocks , and there was no one on shore to catch it , and secure it' on the sand . The fury of the waves continued unabated , and about five the wreck parted by the fore-rigging , and so many souls were emerged in the water , that only 70 were left crowded on . the forecastle , who were then lashed to the wreck . The sea continued breaking over them , the wind raging and tne vain heavy all night , and thus the poor creatures r ; pntinued Numbers of them died and fell overboard , or sunk and were drowned at the place -where they were lashed .

      " When day broke the following morning , it was discovered that only about thirty were left alive . The sea was now making a clean breach into tlie forecastle , the deck of which was rapidly breaking up . About this time , while numbers were helplessly clinging to the bows , and continued dropping off without the possibility of recovery , tho captain tried to lvach the shore , but was unable-to accomplish so arduous a task , and with some assistance he regained the wreck . The lashings of the survivors were now undone in order to give them the last chance of life . Mr , Thomas Guthrie , the chief mate , now . on tho spritsail yard , was washed out to the bowsprit . He saw the captain and second mate and

      steward clinging at the bows , with about eighteen or twenty dead bodies on the fragment of the wreck . Mr . Guthrie was now driven to a detached part of the wreck , but soon found it impossible to live with such a sea breaking over , and , seizing a piece of plunk under his arm , leaped into the water , and was carried over the reef , and got on shore . He found a passenger , who had got on shore during the night ; and one of the crew , John Robinson , plunged into the water when he saw the mate on shore , and , partly swimming and partly driven , reached land ; five other seamen followed , and landed dreadfully exhausted . Almost immediately after the vessel totally disappeared . Thus , out of 423 souls . on board , only nine were saved . "

      The names of those saved are Mr . Thomas Guthria , chief mate ; Solomon Brown , emigrant , John Roberts , William Jones , Francis Milan , John Simpson , John Robertson , and Peter Johnson , able aeainen ; and William Blackstock , apprentice . The following is a list of the passengers furnished by Dr . Patterson , the emigration agent , with the exception of eight or nine , whose names it was impossible to make out correctly , the paper from which they were taken being in a mutilated state : — "Thomas and Ann Allen , and four children ; William and Ann Allen , and two children ; R .
